The mountains have a nice 3d feeling to them.

Beautiful image. It's my most favourite part of the moon, just love this region.

Nice natural processing not over cooked.

Thanks @neil phillips , I'm trying not to burn out the bright highlights, even at the expense of maybe not going as contrasty as I would like. The left side of Plato is the best part I think, but did not manage to get as much detail in the Alpine Valley as I wanted, the very thin inner crevice. But it was low and turbulent, so that's my excuse 😉

Might need a bigger scope

Can see the Rille in Alpine valley. Try again when the moon is high under hopefully good seeing. I reckon you can get it just fine with a 6" scope
